Light shimmers on the
Lake, hills rise and fall as they
Flow to the water

Bright white, silver inside
Billows of light against blue
Move across the sky

White foam swirls around
Rocks, green trees reflected in
The turquoise waters

Heavy gray sky sits
Atop the city center,
An ill fitting wig.

Fields of bright yellow
Grace the hills. Glow in the sun.
Raeps seed, canola.

Purple and yellow
Lilacs, wisteria and
Raps punctuate green.

Thursday holiday
Feels like Sunday, Confusion
Reigns, routines upset.

Delicate, fragrant
Many colored lilacs poke
Over walls, line streets.

Numbing shot, fat lip
Incessant drilling, scraping
Breathe and meditate.

Pink flowers appear
Almost overnight. Lovely
Rhododendron blooms.
